TEAMWORK
I always knew I wanted to study economics and learning about the flexibility of the course at Swansea really helped sway my decision. The range of modules were fantastic and meant that I was able to tailor my degree to what I am fully interested in. The modules have also directly supported me in my current role as an Assistant Economist.
